Capítulo 8: FIRST DAY ON THE JOB
"It is the truth though. I see how you stare at his pictures like he is a snack. Now, you will work with him and touch him in places you have always imagined."
"Okay, you have to stop" Kathlyn warned. Jas erupted into loud laughter.
"All right, lady Kathlyn. When do you have to resume?"
"Tomorrow morning. Thank goodness we went shopping. I have things to wear at least" Kathlyn breathed in relief.
"I will be there to prep you up for your first day at work. Gosh! I am so excited for you" Jas confessed. Kathlyn thanked her for her concern. They made small talk for some more minutes before bidding each other farewell and hanging up the phone. Kathlyn looked up to the sky and whispered a small prayer of thanks before hopping into the kitchen to look for something to eat.
She went about her activities of that day feeling really excited and pumped. She could not wait for the next day so she would begin working. As excited as she was that she had gotten a new job and despite that her future was not looking so bleak anymore, she could not help but dread the new job.
Questions were twirling in her head. She knew she performed poorly at the job interview so what was it that made her get the job? The bonus also was, she did not get a job in the position she applied for but for one bigger than that. She did not have any experience in being a personal assistant but she was willing to learn. However, she could not help but suspect that something was amiss.
"God! I am thinking too much" She scolded herself. She looked out the window and saw that it was evening already. Feeling bored, she decided to take a walk and clear her head. Perhaps, that would help with the many thoughts running through her head.
She threw on her jacket and stormed out of the house and into the street. It was drizzling slightly and the air bit her skin making her wrap her arms tighter around her body. She had no direction in mind - just, go wherever the wind took her and enjoy the cool evening breeze. She found herself in the city park making her exhale. Tugging her hand into her jacket, she looked around the place and pressed her arms tightly to her body.
There were few people present in the park. Some children were skating, some others were running around. She made her way over to one of the benches and settled on it. The sky was clear and the air cool. It had stopped drizzling and if she hadn't witnessed the drops, she would have never believed it drizzled.She took in a huge amount of air which she expelled before shutting her eyes and allowing the cool breeze calm her. A small smile appeared on her lips when thoughts of her new job came into her mind. The thought of the new life she was embarking on thrilled her.
"Hey, mind if I join you?" A male voice asked pulling her out of her thoughts. She opened her eyes slowly and stared at the stranger, instantly entranced by him. He had auburn colored hair and his brown eyes were focused on her. She scouted over to the far end of the bench and nodded. He offered her a smile and sat down beside her. "What is a pretty lady like yourself doing out here all alone?"
"Just taking some air." She said with a shrug. "You?"
"I came to get some inspiration. I am an artist" He said. Her eyes fell on the palette of colors in his hand. She had not noticed it before now. "Tony. Tony Richards" He introduced stretching out his hand.
"Kathlyn Georgia."

"Good morning, sir" Kathlyn greeted walking into Adam's office. He glanced at her before going back to what he was doing. She walked closer and stopped on the opposite side of the desk. "I came to get instructions from you" She said when he made no efforts to look at her. She twisted her fingers nervously and bounced on her feet, willing herself to stay calm.
"Sit" He ordered. She pulled a chair out and settled on it while staring at him. Adam concentrated on what he was typing on his laptop. He felt her gaze on him but chose not to make eye contact – not yet, at least.
He wore a blue dress shirt which complimented the color of his tanned skin while his golden brown hair was slicked backwards. Kathlyn chewed the inside of her cheeks, feeling sweat pool underneath her breast due to how nervous she was. Her palms were clammy too and she wanted to scream at him to look up at her. Instead, she clasped her mouth shut and looked around the room, taking in the beauty of the office.
There was a photograph of Adam Smith sitting on his office table. She remembered the photo. It was the one which was printed on the magazine when Adam won most eligible bachelor of the year. It was her favorite picture of him.
"So, Kathlyn…" He finally spoke after fifteen minutes of ignoring her. "Congratulations on getting the job." She blinked as she tried to come out of her reverie. It took time for his words to register and when it did, she nodded and clasped her hand together.
"Thank you. I have a question though."
"Shoot" He said crossing his arms over his chest and resting his back on the chair.
"I did not apply for the job of your personal assistant…" She said expressing her confusion. Adam watched her, trying to read her thoughts through her expressions and body movements but failing to as she made sure to give nothing away.
"Well, I found you worthy" He responded. Kathlyn exhaled and nodded in understanding. "Just don't break my nose when I piss you off" He teased. Kathlyn's head snapped at him and her mouth parted in shock.
